AF COOL

Good news. The very popular AF COOL Program was able to expand its existing
contract to accept new funding applications. One change you will see is a
priority system. AF COOL program will now prioritize funding requests and
secure payments in the following order:

1. Members within 90-150 days of separation or retirement
2. Members who are pursing AFSC related credentials only (with no
preparatory courses required)
3. All other requests

We expect to have a new contract awarded by 1 December 2018 and anticipate
resuming normal AF COOL Program operations on/about 1 January 2019. Please
refer to your AFVEC account for status of your funding request.https://afvec.langley.af.mil/afvec/Home.aspx

Civilian students must pay a fee to CLEP/DSST for the exam by credit card, check or money order and a separate $25 administrative fee to Saint Leo University by debit or credit card.
